Omron already proposes solutions for the glue inspection of liquid gaskets used in engines and transmissions. However, for electric devices, a much higher sealing performance is required. Therefore, Omron have consolidated its detection know-how and will release the software FlexXpect GlueBead as a product globally to inspect glue bead with high accuracy.

The glue status is immediately inspected after gluing to secure the sealing. That's why the software for glue bead inspection is equipped with Omron's original automatic outline scanning function. It calculates the glue status with a high degree of accuracy even for complex glue paths by automatically scanning the glue outline, glue width, gap width and for wrong glue paths. Also, a more stable inspection can be performed by the execution of HDR (high dynamic range), an image processing tolerant to the use environment. By preparing a dedicated glue inspection interface and result display screens, the company made possible, easier inspection setting and error analyses with less man-hours spent.

This software can be used by installation to the Omron Vision System Xpectia.

Main features of the glue bead inspection:

1. High accuracy inspection of complex paths using automatic outline scanning technology
2. Stable detection independent of environmental change
3. Detection of complex paths with an easy set-up
4. Visible results enable quick error analysis
